Here to help
Dental emergencies should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible. At Dental Lounge, we reserve time during business hours for clients with dental emergencies.
This is to avoid unnecessary wait times that could impact your treatment. If it’s too painful to talk on the phone, ask a friend or relative to help communicate your condition with our friendly staff so we can fit you in as soon as possible.

There’s no dental problem too big or too small for our expert team and we’re attentive and non-judgemental in our approach. The latest technology, combined with our surgical experience, helps us diagnose and treat your pain faster, and our emergency dental hospital in Sydney is designed to provide a comfortable environment for quick recovery.
5 common types of dental
emergencies and what to do

Knocked-out tooth
Stay calm and try to find the tooth, as there’s a good chance we can re-attach it. Handle it by the crown (the top), not the root, taking care not to scrape or rub away any tissue fragments. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it in milk or your saliva. Then, try to gently hold it in place in the socket. If you cannot replant the tooth, keep it moist by immersing it in milk or saliva (just not water), sealing it in plastic wrap or placing it in your mouth next to the cheek. Timing is critical, so contact us immediately for an emergency dentistry appointment.

Toothache
This could be caused by nerve pain in the tooth or by infected teeth or gums. You may also experience pain in the jaw. The best thing to do is rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. If there’s swelling, place a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek. Try gently using dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. For quick dental pain relief, we may recommend some over-the-counter medication. For persisting pain, come and see us as soon as possible.

Chipped, fractured or cracked tooth
Clean the area by rinsing your mouth with warm water. If there’s swelling, place a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek. Fractured or cracked teeth may require extractions or root canal therapy. We advise visiting us as soon as possible so we can assess the severity of the chip, crack or fracture.




Broken or lost fillings and crowns
Dental fillings or crowns can fall out over time if a cavity develops under them or becomes dislodged because of trauma. In either case, it can be painful as the exposed middle layer (dentine) of the tooth becomes sensitive to hot or cold foods. A new filling or crown will be needed, so visit us as soon as you can.


Bleeding gums
Usually caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar along the gumline, bleeding gums can be an early indication of gum disease. Therefore, it’s important to book an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible. We’ll carry out a full clean to remove plaque and tartar from the gums and teeth. We may also provide antibiotics and perform scaling and root planing to restore gum health.
Not sure if it’s an emergency?
It’s not always easy to tell if you need urgent dental care or can wait for a regular appointment. Some problems can worsen quickly, leading to more pain or complications if left untreated.
If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call. A quick chat with our knowledgeable team will help you determine the next steps — whether that means an emergency visit or the next available booking.
What to expect during your emergency dental visit
When you arrive for your emergency appointment, our priority is to relieve your pain and assess the problem as quickly as possible. Every dental emergency is different, but our process is designed to be efficient, clear and focused on getting you the proper treatment.
Step 1 — Immediate evaluation
As soon as you arrive, our team will assess the type of pain or discomfort you’re experiencing and any recent incidents that may have caused the issue. If the problem involves swelling, severe pain or visible damage to a tooth, an X-ray may be taken to get a more detailed look at any underlying damage that isn’t visible. This is especially important for issues like fractures, deep infections or impacted teeth.
Step 2 — Pain management
If you’re in a lot of pain, we won’t move forward with treatment until we’ve made you as comfortable as possible. Depending on the severity, this might include a local anaesthetic, numbing gel or pain relief medication. If there’s swelling, we may recommend cold compresses or anti-inflammatory treatment before addressing the underlying cause. Our goal is to make sure you feel at ease before any dental work begins.
Step 3 — Diagnosis and treatment plan
Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll explain what’s happening in clear, straightforward terms. Our Sydney dentists will discuss your treatment options and whether we can address the issue on the spot or if you need follow-up care. If you require a procedure such as a filling, crown replacement or tooth reattachment, we’ll talk you through what that involves so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 4 — Same-day treatment (when possible)
In most cases, we can start treatment immediately. This might involve sealing a cavity, securing a broken filling, draining an infection or reattaching a knocked-out tooth. If the issue requires more extensive work — such as a root canal or crown replacement — we’ll do what we can to stabilise the problem and book you in for a follow-up. We’ll also provide guidance on managing any pain or sensitivity.
Step 5 — Aftercare and recovery advice
Before you leave, we’ll go over any steps you need to take for a smooth recovery. This might include advice on pain relief, eating and drinking guidelines and how to care for the affected area at home. If you need a prescription for antibiotics or further medication, we’ll provide that as well. You’ll also be given instructions on when to return for a follow-up if more treatment is needed.

FAQs
A dental emergency is any situation that requires urgent care to relieve pain, stop bleeding or prevent further damage to your teeth or gums. This includes severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, abscesses, uncontrolled bleeding and swelling that may indicate infection. If you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, it’s best to call and describe your symptoms so we can guide you on the next steps.
Dental Lounge provides a full range of emergency dental treatments, including pain relief, tooth extractions, root canals, repairing broken or chipped teeth, reattaching knocked-out teeth, treating infections and replacing lost fillings or crowns. If you’re experiencing an urgent dental issue, we’ll assess your condition and provide the necessary treatment as soon as possible.
We prioritise emergency cases and reserve time during business hours for urgent dental care. If you phone in with a dental emergency, we’ll do our best to see you the same day. The sooner you reach us, the faster we can arrange an appointment to relieve your discomfort and prevent further complications.
If you have a severe toothache while waiting for your appointment, try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to help mitigate bacteria and ease inflammation. You can also take over-the-counter pain relief as directed and use a cold compress on your cheek if there’s swelling. Avoid eating on the affected side and steer clear of very hot, cold or sugary foods that might worsen sensitivity. If the pain becomes overwhelming or you notice swelling spreading, call us immediately.
Bring a form of identification, your Medicare or private health insurance details (if applicable) and a list of any medications you’re taking. If your emergency involves previous dental work, any relevant records or X-rays can be helpful but aren’t required. If you’ve lost a filling, crown or knocked-out tooth, bring it with you if possible.
Yes, we offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious or need a more comfortable experience during emergency treatments. Depending on the procedure, we may use local anaesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or other sedation techniques. If you’re concerned about pain or anxiety, let us know when booking your appointment so we can discuss your options.




Chipped, fractured or cracked tooth
Clean the area by rinsing your mouth with warm water. If there’s swelling, place a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek. Fractured or cracked teeth may require extractions or root canal therapy. We advise visiting us as soon as possible so we can assess the severity of the chip, crack or fracture.




Broken or lost fillings and crowns
Dental fillings or crowns can fall out over time if a cavity develops under them or becomes dislodged because of trauma. In either case, it can be painful as the exposed middle layer (dentine) of the tooth becomes sensitive to hot or cold foods. A new filling or crown will be needed, so visit us as soon as you can.
